Chapter 23
Soraru was looking at his teacher writing on the board, leaves can be seen falling off the trees outside. The raven-haired glanced to the side to see the pink haired male was writing down notes. Soraru thought back on his 'date' with Luz. He smiled to himself remembering that the light haired male had said he had feelings for Nqrse. Good for Nqrse, he can confess no problem. A certain albino came into his mind. Soraru could tell that once the two start dating, Mafu would be pretty upset and in pain.
"And you can heal that pain."
Urata grinned as he looked at the raven-haired male. Soraru just sighed, he rested his head on his hand.
"You say that as if it's easy, not a lot of people can get over rejection."
"Yes, you would know from experience."
Soraru glared at the brunette who smiled apologetically.
"Sorry kinda rolled off my tongue."
"You never have a filter on you, do you?"
"Nope~"
Soraru shook his head and went back to focusing in class. A few long minutes have passed, the raven-haired was done doing the worksheet they had received. He saw that Nqrse was still working on it and decided leave the pink haired male alone. Soraru was bored out of his mind, but couldn't do anything so he decided to talk with Urata in the meantime.
"So how's you little unrequited love going?"
"Eh?"
The brunette was confused by the question, he just blinked his eyes in no response. Soraru smirked, making Urata become worried at what the raven-haired was going to say.
"What are you going to do with your feelings for Sakata?"
"H-Huh?!"
Urata blushed before smacking Soraru on the head. The raven-haired winced and glared at the brunette. Is violence the only thing he knows? Soraru had lost track of how many times the brunette had hit him for teasing him.
"O-Oi! W-We're not d-discussing this!"
"I am curious though, what do you plan on doing with your feelings?"
"How should I know?!"
Urata threw his hands in the air as he shouted. He didn't know what he'd do with the small crush he has on the redhead. He was annoyed at how fate toyed with him.
"They'll go away eventually."
"Hypocrite."
"Eh?"
"You were the one that said I shouldn't give up on my feelings for Mafu."
"Cause you still have a chance. I'm a ghost, it'll never work out."
"I've been wondering, how come the reset didn't worked on you?"
Ever since the raven-haired had learned that his friends would come back to life and gain an ability once he resets, he had been wondering why that didn't happen to Urata. The brunette furrowed his eyebrows, he wasn't sure either.
"Who knows."
"I wonder if there's more to this. I mean why would we get powers if it doesn't mean anything?"
"Maybe just to make our lives no longer normal."
The two males were confused by the course of events that have happened so far. There has to be a reason for this. Soraru thought for a while on the topic but came up with nothing. The raven-haired then remembered what the book said. A heart.... He sighed as he turned his attention back to the teacher. He decided to get his mind off all of this for now.
The lunch bell rang, Soraru and Nqrse headed to the roof, it had become a habit that the raven-haired would do unconsciously now. His body would move on its own and before he knows it, he's already on the roof with the others. He saw that Luz blushed when the pink haired male sat next to him. He just chuckled at how the light haired male was starting to act shy around Nqrse.
"Are we going to do anything today?" Kashitaro asked as Amatsuki shrugged.
"Beats me."
"I have a test tomorrow." Mafu said as Luz and Sakata groaned.
"Same here." Kashitaro added.
"Why don't we go to Mafu's house and study?" Shima said but his idea was swiftly rejected by the raven-haired.
"No."
"I agree with Soraru, you guys would just play around and not actually study." Senra commented as he looked at a certain group of males. Sakata pouted while Luz semi-glared at the blonde.
"Senra, you actually think we'd study?" Sakata asked in disbelief as the blonde shook his head.
"You're right. You never do, don't know why I thought this time would be different."
"You guys then complain about failing." Nqrse said in annoyance.
It was always the same story; the three don't study, they do horrible on the test, and then complain and whine about how they should've studied. Soraru just shook his head in disappointment while the others just sighed.
"How about we just hang out?" Amatsuki said with a smile, Kashitaro rolled his eyes at the red eyed brunette's suggestion.
"How about we do something else, we always hang out and then we just walk around town for a few hours doing nothing."
"I don't mind studying." Luz stated as Mafu and Sakata looked at him as if he had offended them.
"Luz how dare you join their side." Mafu said in a fake hurt tone.
"I have to actually do good on it this time."
"We can go to Soraru's house again." Nqrse said as he looked at the raven-haired for confirmation. Soraru lazily nodded his head.
"Wait we're actually going to study?" Shima asked in disbelief.
"Wow, so you guys can change." Senra said in surprise.
"Luz is a betrayer." Mafu commented as the light hared male rolled his eyes.
"I'm fine with that." Amatsuki said.
"Then we all agree on that?" Soraru said as he looked at them for confirmation. The guys nodded their heads, with the exception of Sakata and Mafu who were annoyed at the fact that they had to study.
Lunch ended and the guys went to their classes. Soraru made a small glanced toward the albino that was happily talking to Luz and Sakata. He smiled faintly at the energetic albino, Urata smirked to himself as he saw the raven-haired smile. The rest of the school was calm as usual.
Soraru and Nqrse were walking towards the gate once school was over. The two males saw that only Sakata and Amatsuki were absent from the group.
"Where are they?" Nqrse asked as Mafu shrugged.
"Don't know."
"Wasn't Sakata with you guys though?" Senra questioned the two.
"He wandered off once the bell rang, don't know where though." Luz stated, Soraru was starting to become slightly worried.
"Don't tell me he's...."
Urata's voice trailed off as Soraru stared at him with a worried expression. Nqrse glanced at the brunette as a look of concern appeared in his eyes.
"Sorry we're late." Amatsuki said as he approached them, dragging an annoyed redhead with him.
The two males sighed in relief while Urata became irritated. I got worried over nothing! The brunette was ready to smack the redhead for making him panic but stopped himself from doing so.
"Where were you?" Kashitaro asked the two males.
"I needed help with something and asked Sakata to help me." The red eyed brunette said as Sakata gave him an annoyed look.
"You didn't even need help! You just told me to come so you can make me carry what you were suppose to hand in because you were lazy."
"Wwww guilty."
"You guys.." Nqrse began to say but stopped and just shook his head.
"Well are we going now?" Senra asked as the others nodded. They began to walk away from the school gates until Mafu's voice stopped them.
"Wait, I want something from the vending machine."
"Seriously?" Shima said in amusement as the albino nodded.
"Soraru, go get him something." Amatsuki ordered the raven-haired, who rose his eyebrow.
"Why me?"
"So Mafu can like you~"
Soraru glared at the red eyed brunette, who innocently smiled back. Amatsuki laughed to himself when he saw the raven-haired give in.
"Fine."
"I'll go with you." Luz said as he followed the raven-haired towards the vending machines.
"I want a drink too!"
"Me too!"
Soraru just sighed to himself as he heard the redhead and red eyed brunette's statement. The two were at the vending machine, Luz turned to look at the raven-haired.
"So you like Mafu?"
Soraru's stance faltered a bit as he stared at the light haired male with wide eyes.
"E-Eh?"
"Wwww even Luz can tell."
"Www I've known you for a long time Soraru~ you rarely do favors for anyone so seeing you agree to get Mafu something is obvious~"
"Shut up."
Soraru glared at Luz, though it was also addressed to the smirking brunette. He handed the taller male the drinks as he walked back to the others. Luz just grinned as he followed the raven-haired. They made it back to the others, Luz handed them the drinks they wanted.
"Thanks Luz." Mafu smiled at the light haired male, who smiled back.
"No problem."
"But ahh~ there wasn't any energy drinks?"
"Why would you need an energy drink?" Soraru asked in slight amusement.
"So I won't fall asleep while studying." Mafu said as if it was the most obvious thing. Soraru rose his eyebrow at the albino's statement.
"So can we go now?" Kashitaro asked, interrupting the two male's conversation. The guys nodded their heads.
"Well Soraru lead the way." Shima joking said as the raven-haired led them to his house.
The guys were joking along the way, Urata would poke the redhead just to see his reaction. Nqrse would say something to Luz, resulting in the light haired male to blush in response. Amatsuki would sometimes use his ability just to look around, he enjoyed using it when he was bored. Kashitaro just watched in amusement as Shima teased a blushing Senra. Mafu was walking along side Soraru, but raven-haired couldn't help but feel uneasy. The guys were walking by, not minding those around them, until they heard people shout.
"E-Everyone w-watch out!"
The guys looked up, Nqrse, Amatsuki and Urata all widened their eyes in fear. They all managed to move away from the danger, Mafu and Soraru felt themselves get pushed. Urata stared at the sight wide eyed, a steel construction beam had stabbed through the light haired male.
"L-Luz!" Mafu cried out as he ran to the taller male's body, but the beams surrounding him prevented the albino from reaching the body.
"T-This can't be happening." Shima said in disbelief as people around the area began to panic, they were calling the police and ambulance. The others rushed to the albino in an attempt to calm him down.
"S-Soraru, you should reset now." Amatsuki said but received no reply.
"Soraru?"
Nqrse called out towards the raven-haired, he looked at Soraru but was only met with the sight of a completely terrified Soraru. Urata had been unable to move until he heard the two males try to get the raven-haired to respond. He knew that there had to be a reason why everything seemed calm, he looked at Soraru in worry.
"S-Soraru! O-Oi! Snap out of it!"
Urata shook the raven-haired, but Soraru just stared at the sight in fear. It was as if the raven-haired had become lifeless. The three males noticed that the raven-haired was visibly shaking.
"W-What's wrong with Soraru?" Amatsuki asked.
The others heard the red eyed brunette and looked to see the frozen raven-haired. Sorrow appeared on their faces as they realized that the raven-haired had just seen his childhood friend die in front of him. Urata stared at the raven-haired before the thought occurred to him.
"The memories from that day! B-Because of this, he's reminded of that day. H-He's completely frozen!"
Nqrse and Amatsuki widened their eyes as they stared at the raven-haired. Soraru could barely hear them, all he could do was stare at the now impaled Luz. N-No, I-I.... The raven-haired was shaking as tears began to appear in his eyes, h-he c-can't..!
"SORARU! SNAP OUT OF IT!"
The raven-haired had finally snapped out of his frozen state and just stared at the brunette with teary eyes. Urata saw the pain flash in the raven-haired's eyes, he could tell that Soraru was becoming hysteric and frantic.
"Soraru quickly reset so Luz can—"
"R-Right."
Soraru's voice was shaking as he felt his head begin to hurt. The raven-haired fell to his knees, making the others turn to look at him in worry. The pain was unbearable, it felt the same as when he first got his ability. The raven-haired looked at the others as tears blurred his vision, he saw his childhood friend lay on the ground in his own pool of blood. I-I'm a terrible friend. The last thing Soraru saw was Mafu looking at him, fear and worry in his eyes, before everything went black.
